DIY Grocery Bag Holder

I am going DIY crazy this week! I feel so pumped up to make some really cute stuff for not only myself but for my Etsy store too. 

This one I am keeping for myself but I know that I will make more. The only reason I'm keeping it for myself is because I really confused myself while sewing this one. I also don't use a ruler or pattern of any sort so it is a weird size. Guessing size really isn't my thing either.

The good news is the ladies at Phat Quarter have a great tutorial that I promise won't confuse you! Pinky promise. 


It is also a great time for spring cleaning! So I'm sure that I will be posting more projects that will help me be more organized this year.

DIY Infinity Scarves

Spring is the perfect time to add a light weight scarf to ANY outfit. I wear my scarves all the time.

These scarves are super easy to make and just take about 30 minutes to make two of them.

Don't have time? Check them out in my Etsy shop HelloBrownlow!

 




Start with 1 1/2 yards of light weight or knit fabric. Length wise, cut down the center to make two long strips of fabric.
Take one of the strips and fold it lengthwise with the right sides together. Sew down the long side. Turn right side out.
Once right side out, place the ends together and sew into a loop.
And you're done!!

DIY Baby Onesie Dress

Calm down people. I'm not having a baby. Just all of my friends are. Which is totally cool but I do have to stare and drool over all the pictures they post on Facebook. Fresh babies are just too stinking cute. TOO CUTE.

Anywho.

My lovely coworker had a baby girl recently so I decided to make her and little baby Ember a cute and non-fussy onesie dress. And let me tell ya'. The little thing looked so cute in it the other day!

See? Super adorable.


Now... you all are probably expecting a tutorial on how to make this thing, right? I am sorry to announce that all my picture from that day were completely terrible. Most of them were of my cat being a little too interested in what I was doing.

But have no fear! Here is a link to the best tutorial I could find! 


I also made a set of Thank You cards for her baby shower. (I gave them to her with the stipulation that I had to receive one back from her saying thank you for the Thank You cards. Weird, I know.)


You can purchase these cute and simple Thank You cards and much more on my Etsy store HelloBrownlow.
